The Riverside is in a wonderful location in Fort Lauderdale, on Las Olas. We went to 2 of the restaurants and in both cases, staff were amazing. Thiago and Leslie in Wild Sea seafood rest were welcoming and attentive. So friendly. And the food was amazing. Also, the Golden Lion pub was fun and friendly with Debra behind the bar taking good care of us.
The river walk is behind the hotel and lovely to walk along. Shops along Las Olas were plentiful as well as many restaurants. We chose to have our morning coffee next door to The Riverside at the Hollywood Donut Factory where the owner Bobby greeted us warmly and we felt so special. The coffee was the best and the donuts to die for. Try the Kronut - so good!

This place was average, I was not a fan of the smell in the hallway, it smelled like the carpet was old and dirty. The room ok , kinda small but. Was not a fan of having to walk across the street to go to the pool and to top it off was small. Best thing about it was the small bar in the lobby, great leachy martinis lol. Over the place is ok but not my best choice
Very comfortable room with an awesome view of the Ft. Lauderdale river. The junior king suite is very nice. Our regular when we come for the Miami Hurricane games. Only twenty minutes of the stadium!
Say hello to Will at the bar!
It’s at the center of Las Olas with so many options for drinking and dining. There’s also the access to the river and boat rides. The airport is less than 10 minutes away.
Room was clean. Staff was accommodating. Close to shopping and restaurants. Short distance to FT Lauderdale beach. Especially liked the happy hour at the bar in the hitel
